“All these compliments before our demise are making me more tempted to say fuck it and ride you, Asher,” I complain.
“Guinevere, question,” Hades states.
“Hmm?”
“Left hand or right hand?”
“Right,” I say and pinch my nose. “Twin sis is a leftie, though. Don’t get why, but I guess we have to have some differences, or how else would our parents tell us apart?” I hum as I look over at my red-eyed teammate.
My hand moves to my lips until my index finger is up and my other fingers lower, giving me the chance to make my hushed expression. The moment my index finger presses on my lips, I let my eyes darken and my magic flicker along the fingertip, igniting a single flame of fire that illuminates my face.
“Don’t tell anyone else, though. It’ll be a pain in my arse if she ever decides to come back and take her spot at N.M.U.,” I vow with a tiny smile before I look past Hades. “Now be a good demigod of the Underworld and duck for me.”
Those red eyes widen in realization before he ducks right on time—a stream of fire igniting outward the moment I let out a lengthy exhale.
The agonizing scream that comes from the creature in our midst is loud enough to shake the ground beneath us. My eyes widen to their full capacity and still can’t take in the ginormous creature that’s lit with flames.
Asher has me in his hands before I can think, but he’s not scooping me up in some princess style in hopes of running away.
He helps me stand up so I can widen my stance and outstretch my arms.
“HELLVE DE LASHA RA VUK!”
The spell leaves my lips before I can think, igniting flames of burning scrutiny to engulf the creature that is so damn massive, its head can mimic the sight of a mountain.
“Ophira!” I’m well aware the golden serpent is not only around us but is tightening our circle of protection. By the time her golden scale body is pressing against my legs, I know we’re in the perfect space to strengthen the protective barrier around us.
“We’re missing Kali,” Asher warns as he’s working on laying Blair along his feet while Hades has Azrael in his grasp.
“Poison King is chilling in Ophira’s mouth,” I announce as if it’s no big deal.
“Guinevere,” Hades says my name in a ‘really?’ tone that has me side-glancing his way.
“What? Just because I approved of his company doesn’t mean I have to save him in a nice manner. Besides, he said he wouldn’t get in the way.”
“Remind me not to get on your bad side,” he calmly notes but is intrigued by my hands. “How are you using magic?”
“What do you mean?” I frown at him.
“Neither of us can use our magic,” Asher brings up, looking just as intrigued as Hade at my display of flaming destruction.
“Why not?” I don’t get it.
“There are no shadows to manipulate into other elemental forces,” Hades reveals.
It clicks.
“Ah,” I exaggerate the word and look between them. “You two good at keeping secrets?”
They share a look.
“You know I have no one else to tell,” Asher declares.
“Since Hades is here, yeah?” I counter and witness the hint of red that forms in his cheeks. “Alright, I won’t tease you.”
“Does this have to do with your gift?” Hades ponders.
“Maybe,” I draw out the word, then offer Asher my hand. “Hold me for a second, Silly Dalmatian.”
